"It was a large crowd of over 400 attendees and the event raised more than $20,000," Lombardi said. "There were some fantastic donated auction items were sold, such as sports tickets, vacations, and lunch with the one and only celebrity radio personality Dave Glover of The Dave Glover Show on KMOX.
"The Alton Athletic Association was almost on the verge of becoming non-existent due to COVID and was kept alive by Alton High School Athletic Director Chris Kusnerick. The Association has been brought back to life with a whole new board. including members Madeline Eades (President) who also donned the Alton redbird costume, Jon Tuetken (Vice President), Amy Lombardi (Secretary), Shelly Cowan (Concessions Coordinator), and Cory Gallivan (Treasurer).
"The association benefits the Alton High School and Middle School athletic teams and helps offset costs for such things as special equipment, camps, and travel expenses.
